I do not think you can do it with Tooltip, but you can do it with Button, as follows: Button["Click Here", EmitSound[Sound[SoundNote[]]], AutoAction -> True, Appearance -> None] As you see, it does not work too well, because it sounds whenever there is a mouseover event and this happens quite often. I do not think you can obtain an effective sound interface with mouseover events. Better use the mouse click (take away the AutoAction option above). hth
